Free stays for one to two months at a beach front resort in Panama? What's the deal?!

Simple. CoworkSurf is a coliving space for people who travel and work on the road and want to (learn how to) surf. We offer accommodation in beautiful locations with a homey community, solid shared workspaces and grab & go surfboards.

Why can you stay for free at CoworkSurf Panama?

​​One of the main reasons why people book with us is the friendly community. Now we are partnering up with the lovely Juan and Donna (left picture) from Las Olas resort in Panama to create a sweet coliving paradise there. Check out their beautiful CoworkSurf Panama location with more info here.

But, there is one issue: there is no remote worker community yet. We have to build it from scratch. And while we are busy at our other locations,we are giving away free accommodation + free use of surfboards for three to five awesome peopleto scout the place, help Donna and Juan to make it homey AF and spread the word. You will be the CoworkSurf Panama beta tester. The explorer. The Columbus of remote work. And the right hand of Donna and Juan to turn their over 80 room resort into a pumping Digital Nomad village. Still following? Good.

There are roughly three types of people we are looking for:

1. Videographer / Photographer / Social media legendYou know how to do cool stuff and make it look even cooler on our social media accounts and for the website. We specifically need all the photo's on the Panama homepage to be filled with cool people, and blogs & Instagram stories about adventures, surfs, coworking sessions, workshops etcetera to spread ongoing good vibes from Panama towards the rest of the world.

2. Events / Social connector / Leading host legendYou are the social hero that welcomes every new guest and make them feel at home, and you also know how to keep order. You feel what the community, the other volunteers and Donna & Juan need and initiate fun activities, help facilitate workshops with the guests, throw an occasional mastermind session, and are helping Donna and Juan to see what needs to be improved to create an even better guest experience. Maybe you will even try to fix a partnership with the local motor rental company or get the local supermarket to deliver orders once a week? Anything. (If all goes well we might have an offer for you for the longer term.)

3. Surf / Activities legendYou take the group out for surfs and lessons and are the overall guide of the ocean. Our guests want to know the ins and outs of surfing, from how to read the waves to making their first turns to what clothes to wear if you want to look like a true beach dude / gal. Next to that, you initiate and help organise activities like mangrove canoe tours or beach BBQs.

4. Open applicationYou can be a remote worker who is familiar with coliving spaces and want to be part of the creation of this one, a blogger, a local who knows everything about the area, a still life painter or just a generally awesome person who knows how to get the most out of their day. Let us know why you should come over, we are really open for cool ideas.

This all might sound like a lot of work but you will have enough time for your own projects while you're there. Apply with a buddy if you make a great team.

Practical info

We're launching the space on September 1, but you're welcome from mid-august onwards.

Panama has a visa on arrival for 180 days for most countries. Check if yours is included here.

If you can't make it in September or October, we might have a spot for you later on. Let us know in the form at the end of this page what works best for you. If you want to keep in the loop about similar offers in other upcoming locations, write 'other' as the answer to the availability question in the same form.

We can't pay for your flights, but we can pick you up and drop you off at Enrique Malek International Airport.

Worst case scenario: You stay in a resort in Panama for a month for free with a bunch of other awesome beta testers.Best case scenario: You are one of the legends that helped turn this beauty of a place into a thriving Digital Nomad village.
